Is Scootable Compatible with Segway Scooters
U.S. based e-scooter producer Segway has more than 10 scooter models. Since we have used Segway scooters in our previous projects, we can attest that they are fully compatible with our platform.
Is Scootable Compatible with Freego Scooters
China based e-scooter producer Freego have been producing various scooter models since 2016. Since we have used Freego scooters in our previous projects, we can attest that they are fully compatible with our platform.
Which Protocol Is Better?
There are two different communication protocols for e-scooters: TCP/IP and MQTT. Both communication protocols are compatible with Scootable.
MQTT is defined as Message Queueing Telemetry Transport and is an OASIS standard publish-subscribe network protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It transports messages between the scooters and the server. It is designed as an extremely lightweight communication protocol which is ideal for connecting remote devices with minimal network bandwidth.
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet. TCP/IP is also used as a communications protocol in the private scooter network.
Both protocols are suitable for Scootable. However MQTT is a more reliable and secure protocol for IoT systems. We recommend you to prefere scooters with IoTs which have MQTT abilities.
